A lot of people probably already know that, it’s a familiar “deep wisdom”, but anyway: you can use this not-changing of your mind to help you with seemingly complicated decisions that you ponder over for days. Simply assign the possible answers and flip a coin (or roll a dice, if you need more than 2). It doesn’t matter what the result is, but depending on wether it matches your already-made decision you will either immediately reject the coin’s “answer” or not. That tells you what your first decision was, unclouded by any attempts to justify the other option(s).
Now, if you’ve trained your intuition (aka have the right set of Cached Thoughts), that answer will be the correct or better one. Or, as has happened to me more than once, you realize that both alternatives are actually wrong and your mind already came up with a better solution.
However: apply 1:1E6 to 260E6 million people in the US in 1994, there’s probably 130 couples like them.
Far from the “still not happening even if you flip a (weighted) coin every second since the big bang”- chance in the post, but since Lloyd probably did not do the math and just ignored the actual value… yep, classical example.
